This is a super easy one, and an art activity that will surely keep any toddler busy for a while. To prep, I gathered two colors of paint: red and yellow and put a dollop of each on a small paper plate. My son went into his play corner after I instructed him to get a truck and a car (knowing that these wheels would be different). He grabbed a monster truck and a small wooden car. I let him independently drive his cars through the paint and on the pieces of paper underneath. Then, as he began to mix colors, I prompted him. Here are some great kicking off questions...
  • What color are the red and yellow making when they mix together?
  • What other things are orange? 
  • Look at the truck's tracks and the car's. Are they different or the same?
  • Which tracks are bigger/smaller? 
  • Can you make a long/short line?
  • What do you see if you drive fast/slow?
